  • Pruning Your Perennials

    Pruning Your Perennials

    PRUNING YOUR PERENNIALS Early season pruning: Shape or shear plants in early spring to about 6”. Remove any winter damaged foliage and avoid cutting into old wood. For early bloomers, shear back by ½ and shape after all flowering is complete. Do not prune after August. Cerastium Snow in Summer Origanum Ornamental Oregano Dianthus Pinks Salvia officinalis Garden Sage Helianthemum Sunrose Teucrium Germander Iberis Candytuft Thymus Thyme Lavendula Lavender Deadhead to encourage rebloom: Deadhead to a lateral bud. When lateral buds finish flowering, cut back to basal foliage. Let basal foliage remain through the winter. Remove winter damaged foliage in spring. Achillea Yarrow Hemerocallis Daylily Astrantia Masterwort Lythrum Purple Loosestrife Campanula Bellflower Penstemon Penstemon Catananche Cupids Dart Phlox Garden Phlox Chrysanthemum Shasta Daisy Salvia Perennial Salvia Digitalis Foxglove Stokesia Stokes Aster Echinacea Purple Coneflower Veronica Speedwell Echinops Globe Thistle Erigeron Fleabane Control size and shape after bloom: Snip off old flowering stems to improve the appearance. You can also shear back by 2/3 after flowering, or shape as desired. This often encourages fresh new growth that remains tidy for the remainder of the season. Amsonia Bluestar Willow Amsonia Geranium Perennial Geranium Baptisia Blue False Indigo Lysimachia punctata Yellow Loosestrife Euphorbia Cushion Spurge Nepeta Catmint Prune to stagger bloom or control height: Plants respond well to early season pruning which can produce shorter plants with smaller flowers.

  • Central European Vegetation

    Central European Vegetation

    Plant Formations in the Central European BioProvince Peter Martin Rhind Central European Beech Woodlands Beech (Fagus sylvatica) woods form the natural climax over much of Central Europe where the soils are relatively dry and can extend well into the uplands in the more southern zones. In the north, however, around Sweden it is confined to the lowlands. Beech woodlands are often open with a poorly developed shrub layer, Characteristic ground layer species may include various helleborines such as Cephalanthera damasonium, C. longifolia and C. rubra and sedges such as Carex alba, whilst in others, grasses like Sesleria caerlea or Melica uniflora may predominate, but in some of the more acidic examples, Luzula luzuloides is likely to dominate. There are also a number of endemic ground layer species. For example, in Carpathian beech woods endemics such as Dentaria glandulosa (Brassicaceae), Symphytum cordata (Boraginaceae) and the fern Polystichum braunii (Dryopteridaceae) may be encountered. Fine examples of primeaval beech woods can be found in the limestone Alps of lower Austria including the famous ‘Rothwald’ on the southeastern slopes of Dürrentein near Lunz. These range in altitude from about 940-1480 m. Here the canopy is dominated by Fagus sylvatica together with Acer pseudoplatanus, Picea abies, Ulmus glabra, and on the more acidic soils by Abies alba. Typical shrubs include Daphne mezereum, Lonicera alpigena and Rubus hirtus. At ground level the herb layer is very rich supporting possibly up to a 100 species of vascular plants. Examples include Adenostyles alliariae, Asplenium viridis, Campanula scheuchzeri, Cardamine trifolia, Cicerbita alpina, Denteria enneaphyllos, Euphorbia amygdaloides, Galium austriacum, Homogyne alpina, Lycopodium annotinum, Mycelis muralis, Paris quadrifolia, Phyteuma spicata, Prenanthes purpurea, Senecio fuchsii, Valeriana tripteris, Veratrum album and the central European endemic Helliborus niger (Ranunculaceae).

However, because of the stable differences in ITS sequences, a tendency to- ward smaller dimensions in all morphological features, and the somewhat isolated geographical distribu- tion of P. fauriei, we regard the differences to be recognizable at the subspecific level. We therefore pro- pose the name Papaver fauriei (Fedde) Fedde ex Miyabe et Tatew. subsp. shimshirense (Miyabe et Tatew.) Hideki Takah., comb. & stat. nov. for P. miyabeanum of the Kuril Islands.

  • Relative Ranking of Ornamental Flower Plants to Foraging Honey Bees (With Notes on Favorability to Bumble Bees)

    Relative Ranking of Ornamental Flower Plants to Foraging Honey Bees (With Notes on Favorability to Bumble Bees)

    Relative Ranking of Ornamental Flower Plants to Foraging Honey Bees (With Notes on Favorability to Bumble Bees) Whitney Cranshaw Colorado State University Observations were made during the 2007-2009 growing seasons on the relative attractiveness of various flowering ornamental plants to honey bees (Apis mellifera). This information was collected so that honey bee favorability - or lack of favorability - may be considered in plant selection. The study was conducted by repeated visits to public garden plantings in Larimer, Denver, Adams, and Cheyenne counties. Gardens were chosen that had large mass plantings of numerous flowering plants so that comparisons could be made and included the Denver Botanic Garden, gardens at Colorado State University (PERC, Flower Demonstration Planting), Welby Gardens, and Cheyenne Botanic Garden. These sites also were chosen because plantings had identification labeling. Plantings were visited between 2 and 12 times between mid-June and mid-September. Evaluations were made by examining plants that were in flower for the presence of honey bees. A planting was then given a relative ranking based on honey bee numbers. A 0-3 scale was used: 3 - Heavily visited by foraging honey bees 2 - Moderately visited by honey bees and foraged 1 - Honey bees seen occasionally visiting flowers 0 - Honey bees do not forage at these flowers Data were collected from a total of 319 different plant entries durig this study. Variation in rankings between dates did occur; where this occurred from multiple ratings the final ranking was rounded up to a whole number. Numerous other bees and other insects were commonly seen on many plants.

    channel of collimator provides significant increase in output of reference radiation from target simultaneously decreasing unneeded parts of the spectrum. To decrease flux of thermal neutrons using borated polyethylene is rec- ommended. Koroteeva D. Belarusian State University, Minsk, Republic of Belarus THE INSECTS – VISITORS OF MALVA ALCEA L. IN BELARUS Analysing of anthophilous insects communities has a great significance in the process of studying of the symbiotic relationship between pollinators and plants. Anthophilous insects as pollinators play an important role in the pollination and seed reproduction of plants. Pollinators can provide the efficiency of seed produc- tion process in many different ways. Studying the species composition of pollina- tors of any particular plant may help in predicting similar results during studying of another plant from this family or genus. Malva alcea L. is an introducent in Belarusian flora. Thereby studying of polli- nators’ community may help in the process of analyzing interspecies communica- tion between different similar to Malva alcea L. plants during the process of introduction process of Malva alcea L. to our flora. The collecting of insects was held during July, 2016. Insects were caught on the territory of the botanical garden of biology faculty of BSU, Minsk. Insects were caught one by one in the moment of visiting the inflorescence of Malva alcea L., then they were placed in the tubes with alcohol for pollen cargo analysis. The taxo- nomic identification has been established with the key. Malva alcea L. is a plant in the mallow family native to southwestern, central and eastern Europe, also it can be found in southwestern Asia.

A maxi- mum parsimony analysis validated the division of the genus Malva into the sections Bismalva and Malva. The species classi- fied into those sections formed separate clusters. M. moschata was a distinctive species in the section Bismalva, as confirmed by previous genetic research based on ITS and cpDNA sequence analyses. The applied markers revealed a very high level of genetic identity between M. alcea and M. excisa and enabled molecular identification of M. alcea var. fastigiata. Species- specific markers were determined for the majority of the analyzed species, permitting their molecular identification. A specific marker supporting the differentiation of M. alcea and M. excisa was not found. Key words: Malva, genetic similarity, molecular markers, ISJ, ISSR 1. Introduction Species of the genus Malva receive wide coverage in scientific papers investigating variations in their The genus Malva comprises around 40 species seeds, seed coats (Celka et al. 2006a; Kumar & Dalbir world-wide (Mabberley 1987), including 13 species Singh 1991), pollen grains (El Naggar 2004) and stem occurring in Europe (Dalby 1968).
